its a 2 day event - gates open at 7am tomorrow again.

its billed as biggest in sthn hemisphere
i reckon you would walk about 12km to see all the sites- its at ballarat airfield

me = 2 x XK-XP wagon rear doors - rust free for $100. maybe not bargain of the century - but saves me doing rust repairs to the doors i have - gotta be worth it...

Yes but a bit hard when I am heading away tomorrow, and anyway all the good stuf would have been snapped up today, like I said, you never hear about these advertised much to be able to prepare and attend, oh well.

i thought it was disapointing, was there today there was hardly anything x series and what was there was all top dollar...

My only brought item and bargin of the day
Early HQ GTS Cap (lion without tail) in decent condition for $30 (need another 3 anyone)

I went today for a look. I went along with my big red tricycle complete with baskets for carting gear around. Beats walking 16 km's that's for sure! It was 15km's last year on my GPS, and there were a few more sites this year.
In the end, the 3 blokes I was with all bought cheap bikes while there! Rip roaring trade in old treadlies I reckon.
I come away with nice straight XW-XY Fairmont sill moulds & a clean standard XY steering wheel. Could've spent up a bit more, but rather save up for the engine rebuild. A set of Pro-Stock Centerlines were tempting though!

Went on Sat with a mate & got a couple of bits for my Escort. Only there for a few hours so missed heaps of stalls, so no doubt other bits I was looking for were in the next row over that we didn't get too...
